I need some assistance with capturing the name of an object in a variable and then using this variable in another API call. (I'm not sure if this is even possible?)
I'm trying to capture the name of a countries currency from one API then using this variable in another API call to get the exchange rate for that currency.
The result of the initial API call which holds the currency name is as follows:

}
}
I then want to capture the name of the currency (in this case GBP) into a variable so I can then use this to make a call to another API to get the current exchange rate.
